Southampton boss Ronald Koeman was pleased with matchwinner Shane Long after his brace in victory over Leicester City.
The 27-year-old, a surprise £12million summer acquisition from Hull, struggled to make an immediate impact at St Mary's but is beginning to prove his worth, with his match-winning performance key to seeing off stubborn Leicester.
"Shane is doing very well," Koeman said. "In the beginning he had some adaptation problems about how we play and train because it was much different to what he had in the past.
"You have to talk to the player that he will keep that confidence but he was starting the last two games.
"I think that is really a good team - it's not about 11 players but the whole squad that we have.
"We don't change a lot but we have some positions in our team with some more players to have in those positions.
"It's fantastic for me if you change a player and you score two times. It's not always like that."
